Connect SAP and nShift

Connecting SAP and nShift for a company using both could enable the automatic transfer of order, shipment, and tracking data between the ERP and logistics platforms. This could reduce manual entry, help ensure data consistency, and support more efficient coordination between inventory management and shipping processes within the business.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between SAP and nShift around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect SAP and nShift?

A company that operates both SAP and nShift could benefit from connecting these systems to enable the exchange of information between business management processes and logistics or shipping workflows. Without such a connection, there is a risk that employees would need to manually re-enter data in both systems, which can lead to errors, wasted time, and duplicated effort. Over time, records could drift apart, with changes or corrections made in one system not reflected in the other. This could result in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information, which may impact customer service, inventory accuracy, or financial reporting. In scenarios where SAP and nShift are used together, the types of data that could be exchanged include order details, shipment tracking information, delivery addresses, and status updates. This could allow for more accurate and timely shipping processes, as well as better visibility for customer service and finance teams. What can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what SAP and nShift make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
